ABRAHAM K. MEYER farmer, P.O. Dublin, is the oldest living 
son of Rev. Isaac Meyer, under whose name is given the 
family history.  The subject of this sketch was born in this 
township, near Pipersville, February 23, 1836.  He worked 
for his father until he was 19 years old, when he began 
learning the trade of a carpenter, at which he worked for 
sixteen years, when he bought his father's farm, which he 
has since conducted.  He was married January 23, 1863, to 
Sophia, daughter of Christian S. Myers, of this township.  
She was born May 15, 1844. They have four children:  
Tillman, who was born December 10, 1865; Lydia, born October 
14, 1869; Edwin M., born November 20, 1873; and Abraham, 
born March 5, 1880; all of whom live with their parents.  
Mr. Meyer has never held nor desired public office, but has 
always been a hard-working, industrious man.  Like their 
ancestors both he and his wife are members of the Old Deep 
Run Mennonite church.
